Problem

A siren on a dock emits sound of frequency 500 Hz500\,\text{Hz}. The wave takes 0.20 s0.20\,\text{s} to travel through air to the water surface at 340 m/s340\,\text{m/s} and then 0.10 s0.10\,\text{s} to travel underwater at 1480 m/s1480\,\text{m/s}. What is the total distance covered by the disturbance after the 0.30 s0.30\,\text{s}? a) 510 m510\,\text{m} b) 216 m216\,\text{m} c) 68 m68\,\text{m} d) 330 m330\,\text{m}
